Hi,
on my Galaxy S8 I was able to block all the incoming calls from international numbers.
The pixel 5 doesn't have the same option, it only blocks single numbers.
So the spam calls are becoming very annoying.
Basically all the spam came from the UK (+44)... is there any way to block all the numbers with a specific prefix?
Maybe something like +44* in the blocked number list?

does anyone know of a program to block numbers from calling, i have call firewall but but i cant just block one number, and thats what i wanna do
I thought on CallFirewall you just selected 'Black List' and added the number you wanted to reject to it?
Works for me!
SPB Phonesuite allows call blocking using either a blacklist or whitelist. It also has a ton of additional features.
Spb Phone Suite has one bug in the handling of a whitelist. I have to add all phone numbers twice, with and without country code, to make it work. We don't use area codes here in Oman. Maybe this is causing problems for the program?
try magicall works perfect you can also block incomming sms or autoreply with an sms to someone you blocked.
you can block individual numbers but also you can block all incomming calls when you are in a meeting or going on a plane...
can be found at ppcwarez

IMO magicall outbeats them all.
Hi! I am looking for a call filter program that can filter all unwanted or no number incoming calls, I tried photo contacts pro but its slow & sometimes the caller can't hear anything for 1 to 2 seconds repeatly during the conversation. I also tried MagiCall, this program is simple & nice but it can't hang up the no number calls, instead it will pass these calls to my voice mail box directly. It has a option "pick up/hang up", this works what I want but will waste the air time. So anyone can suggest a call filter program to me that can directly hang up the no number calls? Thanks!
Call Firewall
thanks for your reply, I've seen the features of this program but it doesn't mention it can block no number call or not? Do you know it has this feature or not? Thanks!
uh, sorry, can't help you there. I only HAD this program in some of the ROMs I used, never actually USED it.
And auto-rejecting no-number calls would have killed it in my book anyway, because the phone central in my office randomly removes id from outgoing ones, and so I would never receive business calls, lol.
Ask around, or better yet, try searching the forum for impressions/reviews. I know Laurentius26 uses this app in some (if not all) of his ROMs.
[EDIT]
That's what I found in the description:
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Besides, there is a check window for "Reject unknown/private calls"... I'd call it a YES, then
CallBlock
I use callBlock from WISH solutions to block a list of callers. It works well and it does not have to answer and hang up.They mention that it can block no number calls but I have not tried it for that. Here is the link:

Good luck!
Just tried the Call Firewall, it can block no number calls, but transfer the call to voice mail box directly. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
actually, this CallBlock looks like it offers a few ways of blocking the call... See picture at this address
Block method: dropdown list... Wonder what's in there? researchermd, can you check and let us know?
call firewall works just fine. I use it to block unknown or private numbers.
In addition, you can use your network settings for call barring and block numbers that aren't in your phonebook if you want the extra security of blocking numbers.
The screen you provided should be "CallBlock Ringtone Edition" which is make for palm. For the PPC version, there has no such option can be found
Running gingerbread, which has an option built in to do call blocking and an option within that to block "unknown" callers.
Now, to my way of thinking there are THREE sorts of incoming callers;
1/ 123456 Fred, already in my contact list, he is calling to say Hi
2/ 234567 Jim, not in my contact list, he is calling to buy my car
3/ ??????? Tom, his number is hidden, either because he has chosen to hide it, or because he is calling from an office behind a pbx that hides numbers by default, he is calling to upsell my car insurance
Now, I want to block #3, but not #1 or #2, and yet to me I would classify #2 as "unknown", so using the built in or third party call blockers will block Jim, which I do NOT want to do...
I ONLY want to block people with withheld or hidden numbers
I DO NOT want to block people who do not have withheld or hidden numbers, even if I do not yet know them or their number.
So can anyone clarify the definitions, as far as Android and various apps are concerned?
TIA
call blocking unknown numbers will block calls from people that withold there number, the calls that you get but when you check the number it says 'Unknown' so i think it will do what you want it to do.
Press thanks if i helped you
Anyone know how to block spam callers on Android 2? Can't seem to select the numbers in Phone without dialing them. Also can't add crap-calls to "Spam" in Contacts, either. A work-around for me could be to block everything except calls from my Google Voice number, but that's a non-starter, so far, too.
Hello All,
Why is that the blocked calls are appearing in call log, is there a way to completely unknown from blocked number. This is really annoyed. hope someone can help,
Thanks in advance,
They are doing the same over here on the Verizon S21 Ultra.
Blocked numbers appear on the log if that number tries to call you but that's the only notification you should get. What's wrong with that?

I don't want to see any block numbers in my call log, like iphone,,,, i thought there may be something which can hide these block numbers, or messages from any blocked number.
Are the numbers actually blocked or reported as spam. I had the same issue of my Verizon version, but as soon as I did an actual block it no longer shows in my call history.
Also, I'm using the Google Phone app and not the Samsung one. The Samsung phone app will always show the listing regardless.
